10. Lease Renewals
    As a matter of practice, First Team Georgia Realty will automatically renew the lease for another year and increase the rent by 5%. We will not call, write or email you to remind you of the upcoming anniversary date. We assume you want the tenant to remain and we will do all we can to keep them there. See our  Lease Renewal Policy for Owners »  COMING SOON
    
    If you do not want us to renew the lease, you should log the expiration dates and notify us, in writing, 90 days prior to the anniversary date. You can get the anniversary dates by calling or emailing us. We are happy to give you a copy of the lease so you can track the anniversary date.
